Now that the era of "disposable" electronics (TVs, VCRs, etc) is upon us, has 
anybody considered the impact the chassis thrown into the landfills is 
having??? A typical circuit board contains a sheet, about the thickness of 
aluminum foil, of solder. This is a material made of 60% tin and 40% lead. 
Surely something can be done to stop this flow of materials into the 
landfills. Perhaps an environmental tax added to the cost of each new item 
sold to be used in offsetting the costs of maintaining the landfills...An 
effect of this would be to reduce the amount of them making their way into 
the landfill by increasing the replacement cost and encouraging repair. 
Any ideas/comments???????
